- Students in Boston’s public schools will shift to remote learning beginning Thursday due to the rising COVID-19 infection rate in the city that was ravaged by the pandemic in the spring.

Boston, which serves more than 55,000 pre-K through grade 12 students, allowed some highest need pupils back to the classroom on Oct. 1 after starting remote learning on Sept. 21. Massachusetts is averaging over 700 new cases a day over the last seven days, up 13% from a week ago and the highest seven-day average of new cases in the state since late May, according to a Reuters analysis.

In New York City, home to the nation’s largest public school system, officials ordered some schools to revert to remote learning earlier this month after infections spiked in a few areas. In Los Angeles, the second-largest school district in the country, schools remain closed for in-person education for most students.
